Tradition is meant to be flipped upside down - this is the view of milkman Tevje's three daughters, who would rather take their luck into their own hands than rely on the expertise of a matchmaker Jente. They drive their father to despair and shake up his world; a world in which not only the laws of the family are challenged, but the entire existence in the shtetl is so endangered that escaping and exile become a reality. Jerry Bock contrasts the melancholy of forlornness with a life-affirming verve.

In our song matinees, ensemble members and pianists dedicate themselves to the exciting variety of international song art - in the foyer of the Düsseldorf Opera House and, as of this season, also in the opera foyer of the Duisburg Theater!

Song matinee

The spirit summons the forgotten voice of María through a crack in the pavement and tells her story. She was born on a day when God was drunk. “I am María ... María Tango, María of the suburbs, María Night, María fatal passion, María of love for Buenos Aires am I!” - Searching for happiness, she leaves the suburbs, glows, gets high and plays, sells herself and, in death, becomes a mystical figure. As a shadow, María wanders through a world of surreal encounters, tracing life backwards from oblivion to birth - until she finds redemption through poetry. On a holy Sunday.

Maria from Buenos Aires

Even a rich prince can be quite poor sometimes. The noble Don Ramiro finds out about this when his search for a bride takes him to the house of the notoriously penniless Don Magnifico. His daughters don't give the visitor, disguised as a simple servant, a second glance. It's a good thing that Ramiro finds a sympathetic heart in the unloved stepsister Angelina, known as Cenerentola... Gioachino Rossini composed some of his most beautiful melodies for his turbulent musical theater version of the charming “Cinderella”. Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's legendary production, which has been enchanting audiences since 1974, is as effervescently cheerful as Rossini's light-hearted score.

Cinderella

The impoverished southern belle Blanche DuBois has experienced the downfall of her wealthy family and numerous setbacks and now seeks refuge with her younger sister in New Orleans. In a cramped and aggressive environment, she loses touch with reality, driven by an all-consuming longing and the belief that she is truly special. This tragic story of loss, love and violence awarded American writer Tennessee Williams the coveted Pulitzer Prize in 1948.

End­station Sehn­sucht

Balkis, the Queen of Sheba and fiancée of King Soliman, visits her spouse-to-be in Jerusalem. Here she is introduced to the builder Adoniram, who is to construct a miraculous building for Soliman. She is impressed by his craftsmanship and the two fall in love. When she leaves the unloved ruler for his sake, Adoniram becomes the victim of a murderous intrigue and Balkis can only swear eternal fidelity to him beyond death.

The Queen of Sheba

These three impressive signature styles kick off with “Four Schumann Pieces” by the Dutch grand master Hans van Manen. It is a ballet full of romance and elegance, in which the drama of emotional states, dreams, desires and fears is counterpointed with the clear movement language so typical of van Manen.

A woman was once burned at the stake for being a witch - an event whose dark shadows extend to present times. A thrilling drama begins to unfold: Azucena, the daughter of the executed woman, swears to avenge her mother's death. In return, she kidnaps one of the sons of the old Count Luna, who is responsible for the execution. In the glistening madness of revenge, however, she no longer recognizes whether she is killing her own child or the son of the despised count. Years later, Azucena's now grown-up son, the titular troubadour Manrico, and the young Count Luna not only face each other in the civil war, they are also rivals for Leonora's love... Giuseppe Verdi stages the emotional extremes of his characters in a gripping and melodic way in this work, which, along with “Rigoletto” and “La traviata”, is part of his 'Trilogia popolare'.

Il trovatore

With the sadistic police chief Scarpia, Giacomo Puccini enriched opera literature by one of its most abysmal characters. The painter Cavaradossi falls into his hands when he helps a political prisoner to escape. But for Scarpia, Cavaradossi is just a decoy through which he hopes to finally make the celebrated singer Tosca submissive. A perfidious game of cat and mouse begins for the life of her lover. In an unleashed frenzy of sound, Puccini mercilessly drives his protagonists through a hurricane of emotional states of emergency that has lost none of its power to this day.

Don Giovanni: Is he the legendary rake, womanizer and heartbreaker who does not shy away from murder in his pursuit of erotic conquests? Or is he a radical free spirit whose urge for freedom shatters all norms and spares neither death nor punishment?
